You are using an ancient binary.   Later versions of netperf know how to 
have the netserver process keep running under Windows.  The latest 
release is 2.5.0, but that has known compilation problems under Windows, 
so I would suggest getting the top of trunk and compiling that.

Otherwise, your best bet is to launch netserver in the command shell 
version of a for loop.  Whatever that syntax would be.  So long as you 
made certain your successive (probably equally ancient) netperf calls 
had enough of a pause between them for the next ancient netserver 
instance to start it would allow you to make successive runs.

happy benchmarking,
